No. Every iPaint Painting project is completed by our own in-house team of trained painters. We never subcontract work because quality control matters to us. Our crew members are background-checked, insured, and held to the same high standard on every job. That's how we maintain the consistency and craftsmanship our Edmonton clients expect. Learn more on our About page.

We use premium paints from Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams on every project. These products offer superior coverage, durability, and colour retention compared to builder-grade paints. For cabinet refinishing, we use specialized waterborne lacquers and conversion varnishes that deliver a factory-smooth finish. We're happy to recommend specific products based on your project needs.

Our 5-year written warranty covers peeling, blistering, flaking, and excessive fading on all surfaces we paint — as long as the issue is caused by workmanship or product failure, not physical damage or neglect. If something doesn't look right, we come back and fix it at no charge. This warranty is one of the strongest in the Edmonton painting industry, and it's backed by our 13+ years in business.

Yes. iPaint Painting operates as Cabinet Refinishing Experts LTD and carries full commercial general liability insurance and Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) coverage. We're a registered Alberta business with over 13 years of operations in Edmonton. We're happy to provide proof of insurance upon request — many commercial and strata clients require it, and we have that documentation ready to go.

Interior painting in Edmonton typically costs between $3 and $6 per square foot, depending on the scope of prep work, the number of coats, ceiling height, and the products used. A standard bedroom usually runs $400–$800, while a full home repaint for a 1,500 sq ft house can range from $5,000 to $10,000. We provide detailed, line-item quotes so you know exactly what you're paying for. Visit our pricing page for more details.

A single room — walls and ceiling — typically takes one full day for our crew, including prep, two coats, and cleanup. Rooms with extensive patching, dark-to-light colour changes, or detailed trim work may take a day and a half. We always provide a project timeline before we start so you can plan accordingly. Larger projects like full-home repaints are completed in sections to minimize disruption.

You don't have to. Our team handles furniture moving as part of every interior painting project. We shift items to the centre of the room or into adjacent spaces, then cover everything with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. Once painting is complete, we move everything back into place. We just ask that you remove fragile or valuable items like electronics and artwork before we arrive.

Proper surface prep is the foundation of a lasting paint job. Our standard prep includes filling nail holes and small cracks, sanding rough areas, caulking gaps around trim and baseboards, cleaning surfaces, and applying primer where needed. For older homes, we also address peeling paint, repair damaged drywall, and skim-coat where necessary. Every quote specifies exactly what prep work is included.

The ideal window for exterior painting in Edmonton is mid-May through mid-September, when daytime temperatures consistently stay above 10°C and humidity levels are manageable. We start booking exterior projects in March and April, so early scheduling guarantees your preferred dates. Our team monitors weather conditions daily and will reschedule if rain or extreme temperatures threaten the quality of the finish.

A professionally applied exterior paint job in Edmonton typically lasts 7–10 years, depending on sun exposure, the quality of prep work, and the products used. South-facing walls fade faster due to UV exposure, while sheltered areas may last even longer. Using premium products like Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior or Sherwin-Williams Duration helps maximize longevity. Our 5-year warranty covers you for workmanship-related issues.

For exterior painting, we require daytime temperatures above 5°C and rising — most premium paints need this minimum to cure properly. Edmonton's freeze-thaw cycles make early spring and late fall risky for exterior work, so we plan accordingly. Interior painting, on the other hand, is a year-round service since we work in climate-controlled environments. Winter is actually a great time to book interior projects.

We paint virtually every exterior surface — wood siding, stucco, hardie board, aluminum and vinyl siding, brick, concrete foundations, fascia, soffits, window frames, doors, decks, fences, and garage doors. Each surface requires specific prep and product selection. During your free estimate, we'll identify every surface involved and recommend the right approach for each. If it's on the outside of your building, chances are we can paint it.

Cabinet painting involves applying a new painted finish over your existing cabinet boxes and doors — it's the most affordable option and works great for solid wood or MDF cabinets. Cabinet refinishing includes stripping the old finish and applying new stain or lacquer, ideal when you want to preserve or change a natural wood look. Cabinet refacing replaces the doors and drawer fronts entirely while keeping the existing cabinet boxes, giving you a brand-new look without a full renovation. We offer all three services.

A standard kitchen cabinet refinishing project takes 5–7 business days from start to finish. This includes removing doors and hardware, cleaning and degreasing, sanding, priming, applying multiple coats of finish, and reinstalling everything. We work in your home and set up a temporary spray area, or in some cases we take the doors to our shop for spraying and reinstall them once cured. We keep disruption to a minimum so you can still use your kitchen.

Absolutely. Converting stained cabinets to a painted finish is one of our most popular services. The process involves thorough cleaning, sanding, applying a bonding primer designed for previously stained surfaces, and then finishing with multiple coats of high-quality cabinet paint or lacquer. We can go from dark stain to bright white, or any colour you choose. The key is proper prep — which is where our expertise makes the difference.

Cabinet painting in Edmonton typically costs between $3,500 and $7,000 for an average-sized kitchen (20–30 doors), depending on the number of cabinets, the condition of the existing finish, and whether you want a brushed or sprayed finish. Sprayed lacquer finishes cost more but deliver a smoother, more durable result. We provide detailed quotes that break down the cost per door, drawer, and cabinet box so there are no surprises. See our pricing page for more.

A professionally installed epoxy floor coating lasts 10–20 years in a residential garage with normal use. The key factors are proper concrete preparation (diamond grinding, not just acid etching), the quality of the epoxy system, and the number of coats applied. Our epoxy flooring system includes a moisture barrier, base coat, colour flakes, and a clear polyaspartic topcoat for maximum durability and UV resistance.

Popcorn ceiling removal does create dust and debris, but our team takes extensive precautions to contain it. We cover all floors and furniture with plastic sheeting, seal off adjacent rooms, and use specialized tools that minimize airborne particles. After scraping, we skim-coat the ceiling for a smooth finish and clean up thoroughly before we leave. Most rooms can be completed in a single day.

In Edmonton's climate, most decks need re-staining every 2–3 years for semi-transparent stains and every 3–5 years for solid stains. Heavy sun exposure, foot traffic, and our harsh winters accelerate wear. A quick test: if water no longer beads on the surface, it's time to re-stain. Regular maintenance extends the life of your deck and prevents costly wood replacement down the road. Check out our deck and fence staining service for details on our process.
